CNF: Growing is Forever

The excrutiating pain...of growing up. We all do it, we must, whether it be at eight years told due to tragedy or at eighty years old due to a realization. Our capacity of learning and becoming wise is minimal, while out division is massive. As human beings we are intricate, decisive, protective, and so very afraid. From the day we are born to the day we are laying in a casket we are terrified; clowns, judgement, heights, betrayal, failure, ourselves, and almost everything and everyone around us. Those fears, so small and useless, divide us into labels, making us who  we are. Emo, skater, prep, jock, but we are all the same. We all grow into white and grey hair, with wisdom and trust in our grasps and we grow out of the labels we are given and so readily accept in the now. But the lingering scars of those fears and labels do not just define who we are, but how we act and interact. Now I ask...what fears control you?
